Storm 4 Jed Raises $15,000

Last spring our little friend Jed was involved in a serious lawnmower accident at his home. His injuries were severe and included the loss of one of his legs, resulting in the need for a prosthetic limb. When we heard Jed's story, we wanted to help him and his family.

Throughout the autumn months we collected donations at both our St. Catharines and Fonthill locations, set up a GoFundMe page, and hosted a Cut A Thon in October. We were also able to secure an incredibly generous donation of $5000 through our friends at Lina Linguini's and Fresco's Euro Grille in St. Catharines.

In total, we raised $15,000 for Jed and his family. We are so grateful for the absolutely overwhelming show of support from our incredibly generous clients, to our staff for donating their time and talent for the Cut A Thon, and to our friends at Fresco's and Lina's. This money will help Jed and his family manage the costs of travel and accommodation in Toronto while Jed continues his rehabilitation.

The Storm philosophy is all about giving back. We were pleased to be able to play a small role in helping the Seehagel family through this trying time. Jed has weathered his Storm with a smile and continuous optimism, and has been an inspiration to us all.

Once again, to all of those who helped - THANK YOU.

Shampure Dry Shampoo…

Shampure Dry Shampoo

The new Shampure Dry Shampoo is made up of 99.8% naturally derived ingredients, which means that unlike other dry shampoos, the formula is suitable for the most sensitive of scalps. Based on a blend of natural powders from Cassava and Oat, the product helps to absorb excess oil and impurities on the hair fibres to leave your hair feeling clean, healthy and fresh. With a calming aroma comprising of 25 pure flower and plant essences, including Organic Bergamot, Lavender, Lemon, Petitgrain and Ylang Ylang, the dry shampoo really is a treat to use; helping to balance your mind when you’re stressed out and busy!

A Unique Feature...

Traditional dry shampoos are aerosol based which can cause irritation in asthma sufferers and people with breathing difficulties. Aveda’s new Shampure Dry Shampoo is actually a propellant-free formula which mimics an aerosol but instead is powder based; this is not only better for your lungs, but does not contribute to air pollution, and means that you can carry it on board with you when you travel!

With its unique blend of natural and organic ingredients, the new Shampure Dry Shampoo helps to instantly invigorate and revive your hair when you need it most. It can be used to help extend a blow dry, refresh your hair in the morning or after a workout and give your hair the much needed va-va-voom before a night out or special event!

How to dry shampoo...

Tip the bottle upside down and return to its upright position. Turn the cap to expose the nozzle.

Lightly squeeze the bottle to puff the powder at your roots. (Be careful not to squeeze too hard otherwise you will be covered in dry shampoo! It is much easier to build-up rather than remove.) You can tip the bottle as you need in order to increase the powder flow.

Massage the powder into your scalp and style as normal. Make sure to massage in properly to ensure that the powder is evenly distributed throughout your hair.



*NEW* SMOOTH INFUSION NOURISHING STYLING CREME

2864-052_si_nsc_emailcontent1_Hires.jpg

Smooth Infusion’s latest launch is a styling crème that nourishes hair and helps fight frizz in intense humidity. Unlike other products in the Smooth Infusion line, this crème is for both curly and straight-haired clients. 

The hair can be air-dried or blow-dried to keep loose waves, but regardless of your hair texture it will keep your style smooth all day. The key botanical ingredient is certified organic cupuacu butter, it acts as a barrier to protect against moisture loss. 

The cupuacu is sourced from trees native to the Amazon it grows symbiotically with other trees and crops, which makes it ideal for agroforestry systems that help reforest clear-cut lands and replenish nutrients to the soil.

For best results apply to towel-dried hair—less is more with this crème so start with less then a dime-size amount for medium-length hair and work in more if necessary. Heat is not required and your hair can air-dry if desired.
